A job scam has been uncovered, with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigating after several people were tricked. On Thursday morning, victims were seen outside a business on East Sunset Road. They had paid fees for a third-party delivery job they found online, but the job turned out to be fake, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
